We should all settle disputes like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson did on Twitter

Here's a thought, maybe don't tell a pro wrestler that wrestling isn't real. Chances are, as a wrestler, they are fully aware of what wrestling is.

Although he has segued out of professional wrestling into acting, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson clearly still has love for the game. And on Sunday he tweeted about the return of wrestler Kurt Angle.

This prompted one Twitter-user to break some solemn news.

What?! Has anyone alerted the authorities to this??

As it turns out no one had to contact the United Nations, because Johnson himself illuminated the situation.

Oh wow. Of all the people in the world that you could want angry at you, Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson is definitely not one of them. Pobjie showed more or less instantaneous remorse.

I have a lot of sympathy for sarcasm gone wrong on the internet, but if you smart-mouth the Rock you've gotta be prepared for him to give you a verbal smackdown.

As it turns out Johnson wasn't even angry, though.

For which Pobjie was clearly grateful.

For Pobjie, the Twitter encounter turned to be a "huge thrill."

"Admittedly, I'd be a bit bummed out if it hadn't turned out he was saying it with good humour -- not because I don't want to be told to go fuck myself, but because I love The Rock and I didn't want him to think I was having a go at him. The go-fuck-yourself-telling itself was a real buzz!" he told Mashablevia email.

What a beautiful example of a Twitter interaction that didn't spiral downwards into rage and recrimination. The only thing that could have been better: Johnson ending the thread like this...

So the next time find yourself in an exchange of banter that teeters on the brink of actual ire, just think: What Would The Rock Do?
